First off, no, I’m not giving away the Easter Bunny. That’d involve going to a nearby shopping mall and somehow kidnapping the poor guy as he gets photos taken with small children. And I’m pretty sure that’d be awkward for everyone involved.
Instead, I’ll be like an Easter Bunny – and some lucky duck (or bunny as it may be) will get their gadget wishes fulfilled. No searching for semi-rotten poorly water-colored eggs required.
The winner will get a $600 credit to CleverTraining.com, my most excellent partner in this giveaway crime. By supporting the site through Clever Training you also can save 10% on basically anything they sell. If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the new Garmin Fenix3 HR, to a Fitbit Blaze, a pair of Hawaiian themed underwear (yes, actually) to the WatTeam Power Meter, or heck, even towards a new trainer. Whatever floats your boat.
How to enter:
Simply leave a short description of what your training plans are for the weekend ahead – with or without the bunny. Note that eating chocolate eggs is totally valid nutrition.
The reason you need a short description of ‘what’ is that if you just put a simple one word answer (i.e.5k), you’ll likely get caught up in my SPAM filters. And nobody wants to be sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM. Got all that?
Good luck!
The giveaway entry period will run through Monday, March 28th, 2016 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time. Winner will be selected randomly. One entry per person. The selected product/products will then be ordered immediately and shipped immediately, assuming they’re in stock.

I’ll be eating one chocolate Lindt bunny each day for the next four days. It’s tough, but someone’s got to try! Oh and I might nudge a few hills between bunnies
Have a 2 hour ride followed by a short, easy run on Saturday. Sunday will be about a 75 minute run before the Easter egg hunting begins. Think I will be chasing around 7 kids (2 my own) under the age of 6 all day. Should be a nice extra workout with candy rewards!
First a good breakfast with some yellow, green, blue and/or red eggs (no worries, they are just painted). After that a nice and long spring ride. Spring is finally here!
I ran a 50 miles race last Saturday. I will take this coming weekend easy. Probably just a 13 miles run Sunday afternoon.
Riding the dam loop in austin
My plans for the weekend ahead and following 8-ish days is to just spin on the trainer with my cross bike. My brand new road bike is going to be out of commission as I ship my left-arm SISL2 off to 4iiii to get a Precision power meter installed. I wouldn’t have selected the 4iiii without your review. Incidentally, I ordered from clevertraining.com.
Its possible I’ll get out on the road with my cross bike, but I’d have to remove my cassette from my trainer wheel and back onto the cross wheel since the former is not disc and the later is disc.
Good luck with the Easter give-away.
Pyramid swim set tonight for ~60 min.
~15 mile run Saturday morning.
If it’s nice, hopefully an outside bike ride on Sunday. And then cutting wood. That counts, right?
